The improving life expectancy for CF is known to be one of the biggest success stories in medicine. Life expectancy has increased from 6 months during the early 20th century to 42.7 years from in 2012-2016. As the life expectancy of CF patients has increased, it is important to consider other co-morbidities that these patients may encounter, and the impact this may have on their morbidity and mortality. We present a case of a 33-year-old male admitted to the hospital for a CF exacerbation who had an acute neurological decompensation due to an infarction of his right occipital and posterior temporal lobe.
囊性纤维化（CF）患者预期寿命的提高是医学领域最成功的案例之一。预期寿命已从20世纪初的6个月增加到2012 - 2016年的42.7岁。随着CF患者预期寿命的增加，考虑这些患者可能遇到的其他合并症以及这可能对其发病率和死亡率产生的影响变得很重要。我们报告一例33岁男性因CF病情加重入院，该患者因右侧枕叶和颞叶后部梗死出现急性神经功能失代偿。
